ABSTRACT
This study investigates how Greeks search the web through the analysis of search logs from the AltaVista search engine. The analysis looks at the data as a whole and also examines the use of the Greek language in web searching. Statistics include frequencies of queries, term distributions, languages used including mixed language queries, search features used in query formulation and query length patterns.

Non-english web search: an evaluation of indexing and searching the Greek web
AbstractThe study reports on a longitudinal and comparative evaluation of Greek language searching on the web. Ten engines, five global (A9, AltaVista, Google, MSN Search, and Yahoo!) and five Greek (Anazitisi, Ano-Kato, Phantis. Trinity, and Visto), were ...
Mining query subtopics from search log data
SIGIR '12: Proceedings of the 35th international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrievalMost queries in web search are ambiguous and multifaceted. Identifying the major senses and facets of queries from search log data, referred to as query subtopic mining in this paper, is a very important issue in web search. Through search log analysis, ...
